Sueli Montilha , BACP, NCPS

Sueli Montilha is a London-based therapist with six years of practice supporting children, young people and adults across the charity sector and the NHS. She trained with an Advanced Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a CPCAB Certificate in Counselling Children, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions before completing an MSc in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy with distinction. She also holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which reflect professional recognition in the counselling and psychotherapy field.

Sueli brings focused clinical experience with complex trauma including sexual trauma, as well as common mental health presentations such as anxiety and depression. Her work addresses relationship and communication challenges, sexual wellbeing and sexual dysfunctions including erectile and ejaculatory difficulties, arousal and desire concerns, painful intercourse, and orgasm issues. She uses a bio-psychosocial framework to understand how biological, psychological and social factors interact and influence wellbeing.

Originally from Brazil and having lived in several countries, Sueli incorporates a multicultural lens into her practice and embeds intersectionality in her approach. She is GSRD aware and supports people across genders, sexualities and relationship structures, including couples and multiple partnered relationships. Sueli aims to empower individuals and families to build resilience and improve wellbeing through collaborative, evidence-informed therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Sueli draws on contemporary psychosexual therapy to explore sexual wellbeing and intimacy concerns in a practical, nonjudgmental way - this approach helps address difficulties such as changes in desire, arousal problems, painful intercourse and orgasm challenges by combining education, behavioural work and relationship-focused interventions.

She also uses low intensity psychological interventions, which are structured, brief techniques aimed at reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and building coping skills that can be practised between sessions. Working from a bio-psychosocial framework, Sueli looks at how biological, psychological and social factors interact to shape a person’s experience and tailors interventions accordingly.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sueli works with clients to identify goals, preferences and practical needs and adapts methods over time so the therapy best fits each person’s situation. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively online and Sueli adapts exercises and conversations to remote formats.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, easier access from home and the ability to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. These options help clients maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy lives.
